Middle-aged love

Chapter 56 Is This Fiery Guy Really Your Uncle?
A few people came to the restaurant opposite the law firm. Wen Qi was a frequent customer here, and ordered the dishes very familiarly.While Cai Liwei was out, he immediately asked Shen Juan in a low voice,

"Is this fiery guy really your uncle?"

Shen Juan smiled embarrassedly,
"Not my uncle, but my cousin"

Wen Qi was thoughtful, and wanted to ask again, but found Gu Xia was there, so he held back, thinking why is this girl so secretive!

After dinner, Gu Xia went back first, Wen Qi looked at Shen Juan, and wanted to invite Shen Juan to her office, but found that Cai Liwei seemed to have something to tell her, so he held back.

He observed carefully just now, Cai Liwei looked at Shen Juan with intimate eyes, but there was absolutely no love between men and women, so he was relieved.

When only the two of them were left, Cai Liwei spoke,

"Did you ask about me?"

Shen Juan shook his head in panic,

"Not yet, I have to meet the opportunity, he doesn't want me to take care of this matter"

Seeing Cai Liwei's disappointed face, Shen Juan hurriedly expressed his opinion,
"Don't worry, you are my uncle, I will definitely do my best"

Cai Liwei was relieved now,
"By the way, did you contact Cheng Zhijun yesterday?"

"Contacted", for some reason, Shen Juan's face was a little red, she looked into the distance uncomfortably, Cai Liwei knew it well, this girl, why is she still this virtuous, she hasn't improved at all, she can't even tell a lie Won't,

"Don't take my words as wind. No matter how good Cheng Zhijun is, it's already in the past tense. Besides, you didn't start at all. You don't know him well."

Shen Juan nodded sincerely, but quickly shook his head again,

"What are you talking about, how can we possibly, it's just been a long time, and I suddenly got in touch, I'm a little excited."

Seeing Shen Juan categorically denying it, Cai Liwei didn't say anything more, and left after explaining a few more words.

Wen Qi didn't go back, he had been watching this scene from the window of the office.Seeing that Cai Liwei was gone, he immediately called Shen Juan,
"Lawyer Wen, have you gone back?"

"No, it's in the office. By the way, will you have something to do soon?"

"It's fine, tell me, Lawyer Wen,"
"It's good that it's okay, that child, Jianing, who pesters me and asks you to call every day, hey, this makes me feel very uncomfortable, so I only met you once or twice, how can she like you so much, I don’t even want my own father anymore.”
Shen Juan chuckled,
"The child doesn't like me, he obviously likes the red bean cake I made",
"Did you do it for her again?" Wen Qi asked incredulously,
"Oh, I made some, some hemp leaves were fried, I didn't bother to say just now..."

"Okay, wait for me there for a while, I'll come down right away."

,,,

Today the autumn is crisp and sunny, Wen Qi is driving the car, Shen Juan and Jianing are sitting in the back.

Carnegie liked the 'Princess of the Western Regions' hairstyle Shen Juan gave her last time so much, she pestered Shen Juan as soon as she got in the car, Shen Juan had no choice but to braid her in the car.

Shen Juan looked at Jianing's smooth little face,
"Hey, Jianing looks a little fatter, and her face is rosy."

Wen Qi smiled and said,

"You've noticed it too. I've been busy for the past few days, so I didn't pay much attention. When I was having dinner this morning, I suddenly noticed that Jianing has changed, and my appetite has increased a lot."
Carnegie nestled in Shen Juan's arms, coquettishly said,
"Auntie, the dumplings you made are delicious too",
Shen Juan smiled very gently. Maybe it's because she doesn't have a daughter. She is more patient with girls.

"Really, after that, Auntie will give you the bag back"

"Thank you, Auntie." Jianing's small mouth is very sweet. Seeing her, Shen Juan thought, if only he had a daughter.

The place Wen Qi went to is Xifeng Holiday Villa, which is in the west of Guanzhou. This is a hilly area, and there is a green stream passing through the villa.The building of the villa is very unique, and several waterways have been excavated along the Qingxi River. There is a natural lake in the villa, and a small cycle has been formed inside. The water has become running water. There are really wild fish in it, so it is also attractive Many fishing enthusiasts.

,,,,

Wen Qi set up his more than [-] fishing rods, sat solemnly on the pony tie that he brought with him, and stared at the water surface intently.

Carnegie held the small bucket and flew around like a cheerful butterfly.But soon she was disappointed, because Dad didn't catch a single fish, but Aunt Shenjuan got something.

Shen Juan bought a ground cage from the staff, put some ham sausage in it, and then went down into the lake.

Feeling that the time is almost up, she beckons Carrian to come over,
"Jiang Ning, come here quickly"

"Aunt Shenjuan, did you catch a fish?"

"Maybe, come quickly and help." Shen Juan knew that the child just wanted to have fun, and she had to do everything by herself, so that she would have a sense of participation and accomplishment.

Jianing pulled the back of the rope, Shen Juan pulled the front, and soon, the ground cage was pulled out, and the inside was alive and kicking, and Jianing was very pleasantly surprised.

"Aunt Shenjuan, there are fish, we really caught them!", Jianing couldn't help but danced happily,

"Jianing, hurry up and get your little water bucket." Shen Juan was also very happy. This cage is really full of harvest. There are four freshwater shrimps and five small crucian carp in it. I caught a lot, and I went back to fry a plate of shrimp, and stewed a crucian carp soup, it was really delicious.

The freshwater prawns jumped happily, although it was not easy to catch them in the ground cage, Jia Ning was in a hurry, and finally caught the shrimps in the bucket, seeing Jianing's distressed appearance, Shen Juan laughed, and the result was extreme joy and sorrow , when catching crucian carp, her hand slipped, crucian carp jumped out, Shen Juan grabbed again, tripped, she fell to the ground, Jianing laughed even more exaggeratedly, Shen Juan stood up awkwardly,

"Laugh again, I won't catch fish for you, hurry up, see if there is dirt on my back?"

Carrian walked around behind her with a smile, it was indeed a bit dirty, she patted it a few times with her small hands,

"Okay, it's not dirty anymore",
Then the two of them worked together to catch those crucian carp.

Wen Qi watched with mixed feelings in her heart. How long has it been since her daughter smiled so happily?
This little woman seemed to have magical powers. When he was with her, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and the emptiness in his heart seemed to be filled immediately.

It wasn't until the two lowered the cage into the water again that Jianing finally calmed down, and she wandered back to her father again,

"Dad, do you know how to fish?"

"Of course it will",
"But it's been so long, why hasn't a single fish been hooked?"
"Fishing requires patience, wait"

Time passed by, Wen Qi was still not emotional, the little girl finally lost her patience, and went to find Shen Juan to pull the cage again.

In the afternoon, Shen Juan took Jianing to do many things, digging thatch roots, planing sweet potatoes, and then digging holes in the sweet potato field to roast sweet potatoes.

In the past, children in rural areas liked this. Not only sweet potatoes, edamame and peanuts can be roasted.

Shen Juan was very busy, when the phone rang, it was Guo Junhuai,

"Is this not at home?"

"No, you're out with your friends, what do you do?"

Guo Junhuai frowned slightly, why did he hear the crowing of chickens, as if he was in the countryside,

"It's okay, I just sent Cheng Cheng to school, by the way, how is Gu Xia's matter?"

"There is no possibility of reconciliation, only through legal proceedings"

"Oh, come back early, a friend sent a box of hairy crabs, you can steam them, Mrs. Zhang's cooking is not delicious",
"Oh, ok, ok", Shen Juan stuttered a little, and wanted to refuse, but as if his mouth was out of control, he agreed inexplicably.

Shen Juan stood there, depressed for quite a while, but looking at his watch, it took him quite a while to come out.She had no choice but to ask Wen Qi to go back.

Carrian pouted and was very unhappy, but refused to leave.Shen Juan promised repeatedly that he would pick her up from school tomorrow afternoon, and also gave him three hairy crabs, so she reluctantly agreed to go back.
